Her Wicked CEO: How To Seduce A Hikikomori Wife? - Chapter 270

The sarcasm in his tone is like grinding sandpaper on Tezuka Kohei’s heart. However, he doesn’t show his disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e. He needs to judge this situation first. Kamiyama Takeshi is not an easy opponent.

Iori is sweating hard. How did he get here so soon? She just sent the text only a while ago. Did he run away from the hospital?

“Even the same wine.” Takeshi clicks his tongue. “Don’t you know that my Iori easily gets bored?”

“Your Iori?” Tezuka Kohei wrinkles his brows. “Iori, what is he saying?”

“Tezuka-kun, he had an accident recently. At the moment, he is still…” Iori purses her lips when Takeshi glares at her. She’s screwed, isn’t she?

“If you want to cheat on me, you should find a man who is better than I am.” Kamiyama Takeshi takes the glass of wine and turns his head toward Tezuka Kohei. “Pardon my girlfriend! She has never been in a relationship before. I am going to teach her how to be a loyal girlfriend from now on.”

Tezuka Kohei glances at Iori for confirmation. Seeing her fl.u.s.tered, he realizes that Kamiyama Takeshi is speaking the truth. He has the urge to beat her until the bitter feeling in his c.h.e.s.t dies down. But he also doesn’t want Kamiyama Takeshi as an enemy. Though he has the Consortium behind his back, he doesn’t want to sever his relationship with someone over a woman. Kamiyama family has been in the spotlight a lot. There’s no doubt that the Consortium is also interested in the Kamiyama family.

If Kamiyama Takeshi and Kinoshita Iori are already going out, then why did she come here today? Tezuka Kohei furrows his brows. That’s unlike her.

Takeshi smiles at him and raises his glass of wine. “Let’s forget about this.”

She watches the men clink their glasses in silence. Although Takeshi and Kohei are smiling, Iori feels the air tensing around her. It’s ruined. How is she going to find out how Tezuka Kohei is involved with that incident? She even waxed her underarms for this date. Only she knows how painful it was.

But sitting here right now feels no less than being in hell.

***

That man looks familiar. Mira blinks her eyes. Where has she seen him? She creases her forehead, thinking hard.

Yuta’s Uncle?

She had also met him in the village.

Kirishima Mira could judge the situation. Kamiyama Takeshi is interested in that woman. It seems that the woman also likes him.

“It’s done,” The man says to her in a low voice. “But…”

Why is it Kamiyama family again? Hopefully, that moron is doing well. Mira shrugs. That stupid assassin would cry if his uncle is hurt. She watches them drink the wine in silence. No other word is exchanged. The hate in Tezuka Kohei’s eyes is clear. She smiles slowly. He must be holding himself back because of the Consortium. Who is his master again?

“I am sorry, Tezuka-kun,” Iori apologizes to Tezuka Kohei repetitively. “I just…”

“I don’t mind if you use me to make your boyfriend jealous,” Tezuka Kohei tells her with a friendly tone.

“It’s not like that,” Iori tries to explain. “Tezuka-kun, he’s not my boyfriend.”

It’s already too late to lie. Takeshi lets out a sarcastic laugh. “Are you breaking up with me already?”

“Takeshi.” Iori signals him to keep quiet. “Don’t speak.”

“If I don’t use my mouth to speak now, I will be doing something else entirely.” Takeshi crosses his arms and glowers at her. “Did you forget what I promised you this morning?”

“…” Iori closes her mouth. It’s best not to provoke this horny and angry man.

“I will take my leave.” Tezuka Kohei gets up and leaves before they could say anything. He’s even surer now. Kinoshita Iori had a motive. She’s a journalist, isn’t she? What does she want? He must find out.

“Takeshi, I was here because of work.” Iori looks at Takeshi with annoyance. “I explained everything to you in the text.”

Takeshi leans back and closes his eyes. He doesn’t feel too good. Because Tezuka Kohei was there, he’s been trying to act fine. His senses are going numb. It’s hard to keep his eyes open.

“You have to trust me. I would never cheat on you. He was just…” She stops talking when she sees him wince. “Takeshi, are you in pain?”

“No.” The problem is that he’s not in pain. His shoulders should be hurting. His ears are ringing. A cold sweat breaks down on his skin. What’s happening to him?

A small cold hand pulls his jaw and shoves tablets inside his mouth. He hears a low commanding voice. “Swallow it.”

Surprised by the girl’s sudden action, Iori shouts at the girl. “What did you give him?”

“You should have stayed in the hospital instead of running after women in a hospital gown.” The girl murmurs, “An idiot just like his nephew.”

Iori studies the girl in a white dress. The girl seems normal, but something about the girl is disturbing. Iori can’t tell exactly what it is. “Who are you?”

Mira senses the fear in Iori’s blood. It is exciting for her to see this woman show this kind of expression to her. Perhaps, it is because she has seen her showing fake happiness to her once. “Lady, you are bad at acting. Someone like you could have never trapped Tezuka Kohei.”

He forces his eyes to open. In his blurry vision, he sees a pair of grey eyes. He recognizes them right away. “Kirishima Yuki?”

Mira opens her mouth to say something.

“What’s going on here?” The manager’s loud voice muddles the words that she spoke. The girl gives him a chilling smile. Feeling dazed, he rubs his eyes. When he opens them again, the girl with grey eyes is gone.

“Takeshi, are you okay?” Iori touches his forehead and feels his cold skin. She bursts into tears. “What is happening to you?”

“I am feeling better.” He straightens his back and turns his head around. Kirishima Yuki… her real name was Kirishima Mira. She’s not dead.
